Work

edit

Giboulo's miniature dioramas often have a political undertone.[4] Her 2014 work Hyperland presented a multi-level diorama that depicted scenes of consumer excess, topped by a naturalistic landscape.[4] She has modeled numerous sculptures that comment on contemporary social issues, including Chinese factories and migrant refugees.[5][6][7] Her 2016 exhibition at the Canadian Museum of Civilisation, titled Cités Bidon modeled in miniature the Haitian slums of Port au Prince known as Democracy Village.[8][9]

The McMichael Canadian Art Collection presented a retrospective of her work in 2013.[10][11]

Collections

edit

Her work is included in the collections of the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec,[12] the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts[3] and the McMichael Canadian Art Collection.
